This paper presents the multi-scale hybridization of carbon nanotube (CNT) with microparticles in polymers which offers new opportunity to develop high performance multifunctional composites. The hybrid carbon nanotube-alumina (CNT-Al2O3) compound was synthesized via chemical vapour deposition (CVD) by direct growth of CNT on alumina particles. This hybrid CNT-Al2O3 compound was incorporated into the epoxy matrix at various filler loadings (i.e., 1–5%) and compared to physically mixed CNT-Al2O3. The CNT-Al2O3 hybrid epoxy composites showed higher hardness compared to the CNT-Al2O3 physically mixed epoxy composites. This enhancement was associated with the homogenous dispersion of CNT-Al2O3 hybrid compound in the epoxy matrix.

Although carbon nanotube (CNT) is a promising material due to its excellent mechanical and functional properties, CNT has not been effectively used for high performance composites due to the degradation of its mechanical properties as a result of insufficient dispersibility of CNT in its matrix. In this study, CNT/aluminum (Al) matrix functionally graded materials (FGMs) were fabricated by centrifugal slurry methods. The dispersion of CNT was carried out with the solvent of dimethylacetamide (DMAs), and the dispersant of potassium carbonate (K2CO3) under ultrasonic sonication conditions. Tribological characteristics on the FGMs were investigated using a ball-on-disk tribometer. It was demonstrated that the presence of CNT contributed to an increase of the coefficients of friction and an enhancement of wear resistances.
